The original club was composed of twenty-nine junior and senior girls who assisted in the library. The club at present has a membership of fifty-two students, boys and girls, sponsored by Mrs. Irma F. Clarke, librarian. Before a student is accepted on the staff he must meet certain qualifica- tions. He must have an average of or above, interest in library work, a period per day to work, and be recommended by his division teacher or some other teacher who knows him personally. The purpose of the Beta Club is to acquaint the members with the different library facilities, to give instruction regarding the library, to plan effective library services, and to provide some social contact among the student assistants. A student who becomes a library assistant renders a valuable service to the school, his library, and his fellow students. At the beginning of each semester, the new members are initiated into the organization in a most amus- ing manner. When a student has completed three semesters of faithful and high quality work in the library and rnet certain other requirements of the Beta Club, he is awarded a school letter in recognition of the services he has rendered. The club officers are Theodore Steele, president: Evelyn Dukes, vice- president: Lilorene Long, secretary: Ben Barnett, sergeant-at-arms: Harrison Duke, treasurer: and Anthony Mayo, reporter.
